I’ll Wait For You
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue.
I sit there waiting for you.
Oh my love I wait by a stream so strong and true.
Forever I’ll wait for you.
For you have stolen my heart, soul and mind.
Forever I’ll wait for you.
I hear the whisper of the willow as I wait. Feeling the spring breeze it’s like a kiss of cold air on my face.
Forever I’ll wait for you.
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue.
